John 20:19-31 ▼

19 Then it being evening, on that day, on the first day of the week, and the doors being shut where the disciples were assembled, on account of the fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst, and says to them, Peace be unto you.

20 And saying this, He shewed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples rejoiced, seeing the Lord.

21 And Jesus said to them again, Peace be unto you: as the Father hath sent me, I also send you.

22 And saying this, He breathed on them, and says to them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost.

23 Whose sins you may remit, are remitted unto them; whose sins you may retain, have been retained.

24 And Thomas, one of the twelve, the one called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

25 Then the other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord. And he said to them, Unless I may see the print of the nails in His hand, and thrust my finger into the place of the nails, and thrust my hand into His side, I will not believe.

26 And after eight days His disciples were again within, and Thomas was with them. Jesus comes, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

27 Then He says to Thomas, Bring hither your finger, and see my hands, and bring your hand, and cast it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

28 Thomas responded and said to Him, My Lord and my God.

29 Jesus says to him, Because you have seen me, you have believed: happy are those not seeing, and believing.

30 Indeed then Jesus also did many other miracles in the presence of His disciples, which have not been written in this book;

31 and these have been written in order that you may believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God; and in order that believing you may have life through His name.
